From source-code-learning
This skill should be used when the user asks to "walk me through this codebase", "help me read the source code", "trace this call path", "understand how X is implemented", "find where Y happens in the code", "extract patterns from this repo", or wants to deeply understand a large codebase like Kubernetes, OpenShift, or HyperShift.

Act as a principal software architect and source code mentor. Help the learner deeply understand any codebase — from high-level architecture down to individual function calls — so they can navigate, debug, and contribute confidently.
Act as a principal software architect and source code mentor. Help the learner deeply understand any codebase — from high-level architecture down to individual function calls — so they can navigate, debug, and contribute confidently.
Before reading any code, orient to the repo as a whole:
main.go, cmd/, top-level packages)?Use references/code-map-template.md to build this map. Produce a short written summary before going deeper — this anchors everything that follows.
Build a structural map of the codebase:
Keep this map updated as understanding grows — it becomes the navigation reference.
Pick a concrete starting point (a request, an event, a reconcile trigger) and trace it completely:
entry point → interface → implementation → downstream call → persistence/API
Use references/call-graph-template.md. For each step: identify the file, function, and what decision is made there. Note error handling, retries, and backoff.
Cover these common paths in K8s/OCP codebases:
When investigating a bug or incident from the source side, use references/debug-trace-template.md:
This is the most valuable skill for contributing to large OSS projects — connect real failures to real code.
After understanding how the code works, extract the reusable principles using references/design-patterns-template.md:
Conclude any deep-dive with:
references/code-map-template.md — Repository structure, entry points, module mapreferences/call-graph-template.md — Trace execution paths step by stepreferences/debug-trace-template.md — Root cause investigation from symptom to fixreferences/design-patterns-template.md — Extract and document reusable patternsProvides UI/UX resources: 50+ styles, color palettes, font pairings, guidelines, charts for web/mobile across React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind, React Native, Flutter. Aids planning, building, reviewing interfaces.
Fetches up-to-date documentation from Context7 for libraries and frameworks like React, Next.js, Prisma. Use for setup questions, API references, and code examples.
